1. use splice() to speed up transfer for list

5. small usage exmaple with each class

10. update tutorial to show boost::assign link + auto_ptr


11. should find_key() be added to ptr_map?



13. transfer for set/map may need to
be revisted (rg. !from.empty() precondition)


15. Some of the headlines are too  big...


18. range-based sort() needs to be provided for list. use stable_sort for this purpose.


19. use flat_set,flat_map internally when certain situations arise, eg. when the size of the objects
    is small, eg. 4bytes (does this affect key=string?



21. map::at() should throw bad_index

auto_type skal være converter-bar til std::auto_ptr<U>, if the deleter is
trivial (heap_clone_allocator)

(Spørg Thomas Witt om denne ændring can komme med...kan ikke ødelægge existerende kode, som
vill have kaldt .release()) Kræve en hel del ambiguity resolution pga auto_ptr augument er
templates og ikke non-templates! Desuden kan vi ikke bruge non-template argument, da alle
converterings operatorer for auto_ptr tager en & argument og ikke en by-value!!! måske
skal der blot et hack til, hvor vi tilføjer en ny ukenkt klasse og overloader kun for 
den, og så laver en implicit konvertering til denne i static_move_ptr

The easiert implementation would be to detect its presence in the
body of the range based overloads and then dispatch to that implementation.


22. hvor gode er kompilere til at optimere release() for en auto_ptr. Hvordan med move_ptr
and auto_ptr interaction? Contracts må kunne fortælle kompileren at den skal
genere optimeret kode

template< class T >
class auto_ptr
{
   T* get() const;

   //
   // this expresses that the constructor is a no-op if
   // the condition is true. This might be useful in many other 
   // context
   //
   ~auto_ptr()
     precondition { if( get() == 0 ) return; }

   T* release()
    postcondition { get() == 0; }
}

...

std::auto_ptr<T> p( new T );
foo( p.release() );
// don't generate destructor

Does raw_storage iterator have an impact on in-place consrtcution
